Famous actress and politician Cynthia Nixon became the heroine of the video of one of the women's magazines. In the video, the star lists all the requirements for women in modern society. Many of them seem strange and contradict each other, writes Eva.ru.
More and more glossy publications and the media claim that the demands that society places on women are completely unrealistic; they impose unattainable standards of beauty and behavior. In addition, many of these conditions contradict each other.
In 2017, American journalist Camilla Rainville created a manifesto exposing the absurdity of high expectations, and recently Girls Girls Girls Magazine created a video in which Camilla’s words are spoken by Cynthia Nixon, a star in Sex and the City, a politician and women's rights activist. .
“Be a lady, they said. Your skirt is too short. Do not show breasts. Cover yourself. Leave something for the imagination. Dress modestly. Men cannot control themselves. Men have needs. Relax. Look sexy. Look hot. You are too dressed. Do not be too fat. Do not be too thin. Eat. Lose weight. God, you look like a skeleton. Be feminine. Remove body hair. Shave legs. Make wax on your face. Bleed it. Take that away. Lightened your skin. You should sunbathe.
Get rid of your scars. Hide your stretch marks. Tighten your stomach. You should have puffy lips. Fill your wrinkles with Botox. Tighten your face. Look natural. Be yourself. You look too much. Your hair is too short. Your hair is too long. You are turning gray. You look old. Look young. Women do not age. Men do not like ugly. Be a virgin. Do not talk about sex. Do not flirt. Don’t sleep with anyone. Do not be a prude. Have some fun. Smile more. Bring pleasure to men. Be experienced. Be sexy. Be innocent. Be dirty.

Do not speak too loudly. Do not talk too much. Why are you so miserable? Do not be so domineering. Don't be so emotional. Do not Cry. Do not scream. Do not swear. Be obedient. Bear the pain. Do not complain. Raise his ego. Make him fall in love with you. Men want what they cannot get. Men love the chase. Cook him dinner. Make him happy. Take his last name. Do you hyphen your last name? Crazy feminist. Give him children. Do you want children? You change your mind. Do not become a rape victim. Do not trust anyone. Don’t say yes. Say no! ” - says Cynthia.
The video was perceived by many as a female manifesto, a call to be yourself. In just a day, the video gained more than 200 thousand views, and readers of the magazine noticed that for a long time they had not heard anything more inspiring and frightening at the same time. At the same time, the beauty and gloss industry is also changing under the influence of girls: some publications refuse to retouch photos of models, others invite plus-size models to collaborate.
